Abstract
Mathematical model of self-heating of vegetable raw materials in the form of sphere and slice are proposed. The fact that the models fit the full-scale and laboratory test results adequately permits to use them to tackle a number of applied problems, namely, to calculate the thermal detector sensivity radius, fire hasardous rate of temperature rise, fire safe storage life of vegetable raw naterials, to access the efficiency of thermal control system.
